STYLE WARS Hip Hop Documentary 1 of 5 graffiti movie

[MEGAMANTRA5000]

5:23...sometimes it makes me want to cry knowing how long graffiti has been here and people are still saying it isn't art. I was gonna go bombing the other day and my "friend" said "Graffiti isn't art it's vandalism". As soon as he said that I left and never talked to him again.

[BlazedOutTurtle]

Holy shit, Blackstar sampled style wars in the song Respiration !

[mightyflux]

@RedbullandTwizzlers Half of NYC would be in prison if "Three strikes" was actual back then

[theonlyherpescure]

No, really that was a great vid and I really enjoyed it, but when did it become cool to spread a disease, be dishonest, and sell out to money! Well selling out to money has been around for a while, but spreading herpes and lieing about....is just not the move, I don't care how much money they are making. Don't suffer with herpes, have sex and spread that disease. IT RUINS PEOPLES LIVES!

[efex2007]

t can't understand how someone feels proud of spreading dirty throughout his own city.

It is not art, if it is done at the wrong place.

[miskers12]

Origonal hip hop is a form of expressing yourself by DJing, MCing, Breaking, Writing or by other things that arent explained by the 4 pillars of Hip Hop.

-reply to Question of the Day.-

[suntanima]

niggas know...........niggas know............love this movie,if anybody gives this a thumbs down Im gonna flip. Classic!

[outlawsjustice]

LOve it!

[bigastek]

THE BIBLE!!!!!!

[NettieBeatrice]

Hip hop is the true democratization of art and culture.

[DLcKxFTR]

well, i define it as something an artist does to bring something new to the table. if not new, then by adding thier own flavor or style to it. i compare original hip hop to the sampling of vinyls. why? because a producer will sit there and go threw albums until he finds a good track that he can flip and try and make it into something else by adding his own personal style to the track. much like an mc's flow,being versatile and having your own style sets you apart from all the other wack mc's

[DLcKxFTR]

@DLcKxFTR reply to your question of the day

[tonybennett3]

As a person that lived during that time in NYC and was forever influenced. We were like; 'Yo! it's like 7 million people in New York City, if we get respect here you don't need to leave for recognition and make your money!' We kept it pure so when the WORLD CAME TO US we had the 4 Pillars of Hip Hop in it's purest form. The city was our canvas!

[sicitachi]

Just watching the intro brings me chills, I wish I were alive in these days!

[Realalma]

@sicitachi I was alive back then and was incredible! I still cry for Tupac after 15 years. At least you have utube and you can enjoy Tribe Called Quest and groups like that the were what real HIp-Hop was all about.

[bapsigraffiti]

like if you found these funny:

graffiti as the name its self is not an art graffiti is the application of a medium to a surface.

and

is that an art form? i dont know im not a art critic but i can sure tell you thats a crime.

[bapsigraffiti]

i did the first comment :D

[bapsigraffiti]

this is better quality than the other :D
